Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

"By the way, I have divided the 'Ascension Method' into different versions."

All teachers and students who will serve in the academy for life will be able to cultivate the initial version of the "Spirit Ascension Technique," which can increase the age of soul rings and soul bones that are less than 10,000 years to 10,000 years.

Another version of the "Spirit Ascension Technique" can increase the age of spirit rings and spirit bones to 100,000 years, but it is only available to spirit masters with a spirit power level of 80 or above.

Mu Yang lowered the cultivation requirements of the 2.0 version of "Spirit Ascension Technique," reducing the original requirement of a nine-ring Title Douluo to an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

After all, an eight-ring level Soul Master, when equipped with Spirit Gold Battle Armor, can reach the nine-ring level in strength, which is not considered weak.

Then, Mu Yang continued, "The reason I divided it into two versions is also for the sake of the practitioners of this secret technique."

Although the Ascension Technique can increase the age of soul rings and soul bones, this process takes a lot of time.

Furthermore, the cultivation efficiency of low-level Soul Masters is far inferior to that of high-level Soul Masters. Dividing them into different versions can prevent cultivators from excessively pursuing high-age Soul Rings and Soul Bones, thus delaying the cultivation of the most basic Soul Power.

Furthermore, and most importantly, while the Heart Demon Lock can ensure that the secret technique is not leaked, if one lacks strength but possesses multiple high-age soul bones, then one becomes a prime target for others.

"That's right, it's definitely necessary to differentiate between versions with different effects."

Huo Lie nodded, agreeing with Mu Yang's approach.

Soul bones are valuable items. Putting himself in their shoes, if there were many weak but highly skilled individuals among the other forces on the continent, he would likely be tempted to acquire them.

There was no way around it; the temptation was just too great.

Huo Lie prided himself on his decent character, at least above the average level on the mainland. But even he himself might not be able to resist temptation, let alone other strong individuals with even worse character.

"Ah~, I still need to cultivate to the eighth ring level? Does that mean I won't be able to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone in the next two years?"

"Fire Dance's older cousin said with a bitter face."

The 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone she had been dreaming of were right in front of her, but she couldn't get them. She was in so much agony that she wished she had never known about this secret technique!

"Sister Huowu, even if you become an eight-ring Soul Douluo, I don't recommend that you increase the age of your Soul Rings and Soul Bones to 100,000 years."

Your talent is not bad, and you will definitely be able to cultivate to the level of Title Douluo in the future. After level 90, there will be a bottleneck at each level.

Instead of raising the age of soul rings and soul bones to 100,000 years too early, it is better to keep the age of soul rings and soul bones close to 100,000 years, and then raise the age of one or more soul rings and soul bones to 100,000 years after the soul power cultivation reaches a bottleneck.

"With the enhancement of various physical functions that occur during the transformation of your soul rings and soul bones, you will definitely be able to break through your bottleneck more easily."

Mu Yang suggested.

"That's brilliant!"

After carefully considering Mu Yang's words, Huo Lie's eyes lit up.

Although it has not yet been verified, it is theoretically absolutely feasible.

Especially for Soul Masters with less talent, it is essential to make good use of the transformative power generated when the Soul Rings and Soul Bones are upgraded to 100,000 years.

Following the "Soul Core Method," another technique called "Spirit Ascension Method" has emerged, which helps break through bottlenecks. Huo Lie can foresee that his academy will have no shortage of nine-ring titled Douluo in the future.

Moreover, with their soul cores and superior soul rings and soul bones, every Title Douluo in the academy will be a powerful figure among Title Douluos.

Furthermore, with the help of the ten thousand years of transformation power of his soul rings and soul bones, Huo Lie's future achievements will definitely not stop at his current level 96 Title Douluo.

Perhaps, reaching the level 99 Peerless Douluo realm is not without hope?

"It seems that the academy needs to collect some torso and head soul bones."

He stroked his chin and said, "I'm fiery."

Low-year soul bones are useless, while high-year soul bones are rare and practically impossible to buy with gold soul coins. In addition, the academy has limited funds, so Huo Lie has not paid much attention to soul bone matters in the past.

But things are different now. With the Ascension Technique in hand, low-grade soul bones will no longer be useless. As a result, it is very necessary for him to complete his six major soul bone positions.

It wasn't just him; other senior members of the academy also had this need.

Moreover, since the number of low-year soul beasts hunted by soul masters is far greater than that of high-year soul beasts, the number of low-year soul bones in the soul master world is far greater than that of high-year soul bones. Nowadays, there is no need to consider the year of the soul bone, and they can pick and choose the soul bone that is most suitable for themselves.

"Not only that, with the Ascension Technique in hand, the value of soul bones of intermediate age has been greatly reduced. We can exchange the high-age soul bones we have for a larger number of low-age soul bones."

Even if the two are of equal value, people would definitely not be willing to exchange multiple low-year soul bones for high-year soul bones.

However, if it's a trade-off between higher and lower values, there are likely to be far more forces willing to do so, and they might even be willing to pay a premium.

Mu Yang said with a smile.

In Mu Yang's view, with the "Spirit Ascension Technique" in hand, whether it's a ten-thousand-year soul bone or a ninety-thousand-year soul bone, it's not much stronger than a hundred-year or thousand-year low-level soul bone.

Having the means to improve quality and trading quality for quantity is definitely a win-win situation.

Of course, what becomes useless are only soul bones that are actually quite valuable, aged between 10,000 and 100,000 years. Soul bones aged 100,000 years or even ferocious beast soul bones are still very valuable.

After all, the older the soul bone, the greater the increase in soul power gained after refining it.

If ordinary ten-thousand-year soul bones can only help soul masters with six or seven rings break through their bottlenecks, then a one-hundred-thousand-year soul bone is enough to help a Soul Douluo at the peak of level 89, or even a Title Douluo facing a bottleneck, break through.

Even someone like Jin E, the second elder of the Spirit Hall, whose spirit power level is as high as the peak of level 98, could potentially break through to level 99 Peerless Douluo if he had an empty spirit bone slot and was given a ferocious beast spirit bone of extremely high age.

Huo Lie's eyes lit up: "Trading a high-end item for a low-end one? Not bad, that's a good idea!"

In the past, exchanging high-year soul bones for a larger number of low-year soul bones would have been absolutely foolish.

But things are different now. After the academy mastered the secret method to enhance the age of soul bones, this seemingly absurd transaction became a huge profit.

As the dean of the Elemental Holy Academy, Huo Lie felt that although he couldn't equip all the experts in his academy with fully equipped high-year soul bones, equipping them with fully equipped low-year soul bones was not a problem.

After all, aside from head and torso spirit bones being relatively rare, low-grade limb spirit bones aren't particularly expensive due to their somewhat lackluster nature. (End of Chapter)
